Northwestern plans to lift the testing mandate for fully vaccinated and asymptomatic community members this summer, according to Vice President for Operations Luke Figora.
Figora was joined by Feinberg Profs. Richard D’Aquila and Michael Ison at a Wednesday Faculty Assembly meeting on a panel that addressed faculty questions about NU’s COVID-19 response and planned return to in-person operation. NU’s forthcoming decisions, like the testing mandate, will follow public health guidelines as Illinois enters Phase 5 of reopening.
The University has not yet made a decision on indoor mask mandates, vaccination requirements for faculty and staff, potential vaccination passports and use of the Symptom Tracker app this fall, Figora said.

Advocates of abandoning Evanston s policy of charging for beach access describe it as racist and exclusionary. (Jonah Meadows/Patch)
EVANSTON, IL The Evanston City Council voted Monday to phase out the city s policy of charging its residents for access to public beaches.
Starting this week, Evanston residents will no longer need a pass or a token on Saturdays, Sundays or Mondays to visit one of the six public swimming beaches operated by the city.
Aldermen also directed staff to come up with a plan for free beach access to all Evanston residents every day for the 2022 season. Previously, only Clark Street Beach was free to Evanston residents and only on Mondays in June and July.
